Marc Casadó to Milan

Quiet since 26 June 2026. Last report: Gianluigi Longari. Probability when it went quiet: 9%.

So the money, at least, would not be unusual for moves of this kind. Watch for any sign of Milan making a formal approach to Barcelona. If that happens, the picture changes quickly. Until the
